Falling by the wayside are March 7 and 13 practice sessions and the original Opening Day program that was to be March 14.

On tap Friday, March 20 from 6 – 9 pm will be a practice session that is open to any division on the 2015 Port Royal slate of events.

And then the newly scheduled 2015 Season Opener will take place one day later on Saturday, March 21 at 6 pm.

The March 21 season lidlifter will feature the 410 sprints, the super late models and the 355 econo-late models.

The 410 sprints will race for $3,500 to win while the late models compete for a $2,000 payday.

Adult general admission for the show will be $15 with students ages 12 – 18 admitted for just $7.

Gray’s Auto & Towing and Gray’s Licensing of Mifflintown will return as headline sponsors of the 355 econo late model division at the track while River Valley Builders and Len Krautheim Auto Sales also stay on board.

The Gray’s 355-econo late model class is slated to be in action some 14 times during the year ahead as it stages competition for a second year after breaking onto the scene in 2014.

This is the Gray’s third year as a point fund sponsor at Port Royal Speedway as they took over the econo lates in 2014 after sponsoring the super late models a season earlier.

River Valley Builders is returning for a third season as division sponsor of the Port Royal 305 sprint series that runs through October with the crowning of the champion at the annual Blue Collar Classic over Columbus Day weekend.

The series has eight dates slated on the newly released Port Royal schedule of events.

Led by veteran late model racer and industry leader Jim Bernheisel, BRC will provide official product sponsorship for both the super late and econo late model classes at the track.

Bernheisel will host Manufacturer’s Appreciation Nights for both divisions during the season.

The 355-econo late models will have their special event on July 18 when they will compete in a 20-lap feature that also pays double points toward the season track title.

Each entrant in the race will receive a minimum value of $200 in racing components as part of the event.

For the super late models, August 1 will be BRC Manufacturer’s Night when the supers likewise will go extra distance for double points towards the title.

But also for the super late models BRC will offer up a FREE Lazer Chassis valued at $4,000 to the 2015 track champion if the driver who earns the crown does so aboard a Lazer machine.

And if the driver who claims the crown isn’t aboard a Lazer, Bernheisel will award the titlist a cool $1,000 for his efforts.

In total, Bernheisel Race Components will give away some $15,000 in component prizes to drivers in both late model divisions at Port Royal this season on top of the FREE Lazer Chassis or cash up for grabs.

“I believe that support needs to be given to local tracks, local drivers and local companies,” says Bernheisel of his decision to back efforts at Port Royal Speedway in 2015.

“And I’m stepping up to the plate and putting my money where my mouth is to do it.”

The super late models have just been inked for 22 appearances at Port Royal Speedway this season while the 355 econo late models will compete 14 times.

The wingless stars of USAC will return to the oval on June 6 along with the popular ARDC Midgets and the EMMR/Penn Central Racing Reunion.

And the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars will put an exclamation point on the 2015 season with the final oval show of the year on October 25.
